In stores today, Avengers #33 and The Defenders #12

I drew the interiors for Avengers #33 from an amazing script by Brian Bendis with inks by Rachel Dodson and I drew the cover for the final issue of The Defenders (see previous post) - both out in your local comic shop today.

I will be posting a price list for the original art later or email inquiries to terry at terry dodson art dot com.

The Defenders #12 Step by Step

Here's our final The Defenders #12 cover and I think it's one of the best - got to do Ant Man riding a bee!

 Here's the pencils drawn with light blue and HB lead on 13 x19 " Bristol Board - I did something fun with Dr. Strange's power - care to guess what is was?

 Here are Rachel's inks to cover over my pencils. She used a Windsor Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable #2 Brush with FW Acrylic Ink.

 The colors were done in Photoshop CS3 using a Wacom Intuos Graphics Tablet.

The book will be in stores November 7.

 adjusted and colored in Photoshop I sent in to Marvel for approval.
